Vein-bow Connection

This nerve provides sensory innervation to the mediastinal pleura, pericardium, and its namesake organ

The phrenic nerve 

100

The colon receives blood from two major arteries. Name them!

Superior and inferior mesenteric arteries

100

Generally, the right coronary artery will provide a branch to this conductor of the heart system.

SA Node (SA Branch of the RCA)

100

The visceral pleura is derived from which layer of the developmental tissue?

Splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm 

100

Describe this general term for the branching connections of veins in the intestines. The ileum has more that are closer to the organ, while the jejunum has some with straight arteries. 

Arcade arteries

200

This nerve branches off of the left vagus nerve after it loops by the ligamentum arteriosum - turns out it forgot to innervate something!

(Left) Recurrent laryngeal nerve]

200

The fundus of the gallbladder and the falciform ligament sandwich this lobe of the liver

The quadrate lobe

200

This muscular structure provides a connection between the inter-ventricular septum and the papillary muscles of the tricuspid valve

The moderator band 

200

Failure of proper partitioning of primordial pharynx and larynx by the tracheoesophageal septum leads to this condition.

Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF)

200

The internal thoracic artery splits into two arteries - the superior epigastric and the musculophrenic. What does the superior epigastric anastomose with and where?

Anastomoses with the deep circumflex iliac and the inferior epigastric at the abdominal wall. 

300

The acronym DATES indicates this structure that sits in the posterior mediastinum

The sympathetic trunk  

300

The head of this organ is cradled in the C-shape of the duodenum, and the rest sits inferior to it.

The pancreas :D 

300

List the four valves of the heart, in the order of proper blood flow starting from the Right Atrium 

Tricuspid --> Pulmonary (to lungs) ---> Bicuspid --> Aortic valve


300

Ventral mesentery tissue later forms the falciform ligament and this larger connective tissue in the gut region?

The greater omentum

300

These two arteries meet at the apex to spread love around their organ!

The anterior and posterior IV arteries of the heart

400

These nerves bring pain sensation to the abdominal organs - that explains why they hurt after crunches

Greater and lesser splanchnic nerves

400

Anterior and superior structures to this part of the duodenum include the SMA, SMV, and the head of the pancreas

The transverse (third part) of the duodenum

400

Let's stop going around the subject - what are the branches of the left and right coronary arteries?

RCA: Remember RPM!

- Right coronary, Posterior IV, Marginal Artery 

LCA: Remember LAC!

- Left coronary, Circumflex, Anterior IV 

400

This condition is an outgrowth of the ilium in fetal development. If it forms a fistula with the umbilicus, provide a route of transportation for fecal matter to the umbilicus in rare cases. 

Meckel's Diverticulum 

400

This wandering artery provides an important connection in the colon. Name that artery and the two things it connects!

Marginal artery of Drummond - joins the SMA and IMA

500
Remember that phrenic nerve? Damage to it can cause this unilateral condition, where one side of the diaphragm sits higher than the other. 

Diaphragmatic paralysis

500

Indirect hernias present laterally to the inferior epigastric vessels, while the direct hernias appear medially to them and through this structure.

The triangle of Hesselbech

500

This passageway located posterior to the aorta and pulmonary trunk & anterior to the SVC allows for clamping of the aorta & pulmonary trunk

The transverse pericardial sinus 

500

This condition comes from an improper closure of the anterior abdominal wall which allows for viscera to herniate outwards!

During dvlop, it comes from a failure of the bilateral somatic lateral plate mesoderm to properly fuse during formation of the body cavity.

Gastroschisis

500

This Gorgonic condition occurs when an anastomosis forms between these two veins - name the condition, the portal, and the caval veins. 

Paraumbilical veins (drains into the portal vein) @ Epigastric vein (common iliac) → caput medusae
